“Modern methods of computing won’t get us to the levels we need.” That simple statement from Alex Nugent, the CEO of computing startup Knowm, serves as a mission statement driving their goal – to develop a new hardware paradigm to boost machine le... read more

The White House has just announced a grand challenge. A solution to this challenge will remake our world. In their words: Create a new type of computer that can proactively interpret and learn from data, solve unfamiliar problems using what it has learned... read more

Taking powerful artificial intelligence software and making it open source, so anyone in the world can use it, seems like something out of a sci-fi movie, but both Google and Microsoft have done exactly that in recent months. Now Facebook is going a step ... read more

Knowm Inc., a start-up pioneering next-generation advanced computing architectures and technology, today announced the availability of two new variations of the Knowm memristor. The company also announced raw device data available for purchase that will g... read more

IBM, Intel, HP, Samsung and every big forward-looking semiconductor design organization knows that emulating the functions of the brain may be the only way forward when we finally get to atomic-level chip designs, sparking an exponential growth in the stu... read more

As researchers try to build more complex computers that get closer to emulating the way the human brain works, one of the areas of focus is memory. Existing chips, hard disks and tape drives are great at storing large amounts of data, but a new breed of m... read more

Knowm, a startup launched only six months ago, has announced this week that two new variations on the Knowm memristor are available for purchase. Knowm is also selling raw device data that can be used by researchers to develop their own memristor models. ... read more

It’s been introduced as nothing less than a new way of computing certain kinds of problems. It’s another approach to computing more the way the brain does it than the way Mr. Von Neumann does it. Which is to say, using orders of magnitude less power t... read more

A Big Need For Something Simple Reliable and robust CMOS compatible memristors exist and they are going to change the world of computing and electronics. Before this can happen, however, we must separate fantasy from fact and we all must learn how to use ... read more

AHaH Computing, Thermodynamic Computing, Competitive Computing, Memristive Dot-product Engines, Dual Memristor Cross bars – are these all different names or variation of the same thing? All are gaining the attention of the academic and commercial re... read more
